Community Action

HGEA members are a vital part of these islands we call home. Whether it is as a soccer coach, youth group leader, church official or charity volunteer, members donate their time, energy and skills to improve everyone's quality of life. To demonstrate its commitment to the community, HGEA has established a Committee on Community Action that plans activities and events, and encourages members to participate. This program improves the union's visibility in the community and increases the public's understanding of and support for HGEA.

HGEA members participate in various community events and activities throughout the state including:
